I know replying to your own post is bad practice, but with no further replies 
here goes with a bit more info.

I've just opened KDE's superuser file manager, changed it to webbrowsing, and 
can access websites ok. It seems like Konqueror will only access the net now 
while su'ed to root, which is very strange, to say the least.

Desktop permissions for Konqueror, super user filemanager, Konsole, etc, are 
all showing user, and group with my user name.

Any suggestions?

Nigel.
